Did you read the snyopsis below? I am beyond humbled that a book like this was written and published by a major imprint. I can only imagine how many teens may finally find themselves in the books that are being published right now. Especially, when I still feel like the world keeps trying to hold us back and erase us. We will not go quietly back into the closet and all these novels are giving me life to hope more and more of us will fight back and be heard. Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens is releasing onMay 7th, just in time for Pride Month, so be sure to add it to your TBR now!

Judy Blume meets RuPaul’s Drag Race in this funny, feel-good debut novel about a queer teen who navigates questions of identity and self-acceptance while discovering the magical world of drag.

Perpetually awkward Nima Kumara-Clark is bored with her insular community of Bridgeton, in love with her straight girlfriend, and trying to move past her mother’s unexpected departure. After a bewildering encounter at a local festival, Nima finds herself suddenly immersed in the drag scene on the other side of town.

Macho drag kings, magical queens, new love interests, and surprising allies propel Nima both painfully and hilariously closer to a self she never knew she could be—one that can confidently express and accept love. But she’ll have to learn to accept lost love to get there.

From debut author Tanya Boteju comes a poignant, laugh-out-loud tale of acceptance, self-expression, and the colorful worlds that await when we’re brave enough to look.
